The New England Patriots had a strong defense in 2023, and they're expected to be even better in 2024.
One player who could make another leap this year is defensive lineman Christian Barmore, who's entering his fourth season and just received a massive extension.
Even veterans who are playing their first season in New England are taking notice of Barmore's impressive skills and can't wait to work with him.
"For me, being an older guy, just going into my sixth year, he's a little younger," Patriots defensive lineman Armon Watts said after their organized team activity session on Tuesday.
